Hrm... I recall ZOC having excellent throughput... possibly it's the ZModem
implementation on the BBS that's faulty though.

99% of telnet ZModem stuff is broken unfortunately... *nix users are the 1%. 
:-)

I'm not a Win32 guy,so I'm not sure what the best thing to do about that
is...but if you can find the source code for an external protocol driver, I'll
be willing to convert it to telnet for you.  I need one that currently WORKS...
either one that currently uses COM ports or FOSSIL, or one that seems to only
work with some telnet packages.
